News Notes Of the Settlements on
the Bear.

A WAGON BRIDGE is being put across
Bear River at CokeYiIle, Wyo. John
W. Stoner has the contract. The bridge
! is a necessity and will supply long
felt want.
DEPUTY MARsHALs have recently
visited Montpelier, Liberty, Paris. st
Charles and other places in Bear Lake
County, but failed to secure any gam.
NURSERY MEN are reaping a rich
harvest throughout this northern
country, the people appear aroused to
the Importance of raising fruit. The
weather is delightful for this season of
the year and cline.
MEssRs. BEoKwoRTH & Quinn, of
Evanston, have the finest rancho in
Wyoming, sitEaied between COkevllle
and Randolph. They have 1900 acres
under fence great part of this land Is
seeded down 10 lUc I'll and timothy.
Their business Is lmHense,
Mr.. CoNNELLEY, OF Thomas Fork,
passed through here, day, with about
800 head of cattle belonging to people
of Kaysville and Salt Lake. The gen
tleman has been caring for them dur
ing the summer. He expects to reach
KaysVille about the 10th.
4 LAD, son Of Mr.. Connelley,
accidentally shot himself IN the
head with shotgun ct Thomas
Fork two weeks since, making an ugly
scalp wound. The boy did not regain
his speech for about ten days, but is
now progressing fayorably.
"GUIDE BOARDS" have been put at
rosa crossings throughout Rich County,
indicating to the stranger which way to
travel to certain places. We would
suggest that other counties could follow
the good example of the county officials
of Rich, and thereby avoid the
righteous maledicIio1s of misled
travelling public.
CATTLEMEN out this way and north
west feel a little discouraged over the
present outlook for stock. Scarcity of
grass and the ruinous prices offered for
cattle. The season has been unusually
dry and the future is not very ffatter-
ing. Everybody is predicting
hard winter in this section. Leap
year always brings It,"
a CANAL is being surveyed on the east
side OF Thomas Fork, to convey water
upon the land along this beautiful val
ley. Several thousands of acres will
thus be brought under cultivs ton. The
ditch will b. easily made, as Jher- is no
serious obstacle in the way-all ploW
and scrsper work. The canal Is sit
uated on or about the western boun-
dairy line OF Wyoming, while the land
to be Watered lies in Idaho, Bear Lake
county. Thomas Fork is tributary Of
Bear River. Some Salt Lake gentlemen
are the OTiginatCrs Of the enterprise.
The CHEESE industry of Bear Lake is
increasing. S45 900 worth OF this staple
article has been produced the last sea-
son. The grain In this country is not
marketable, too foul wild oats infest the
ground 10 the great detriment of the
granger. 4 good yield OF potatoes has
been realized in Bear Lake this season.
Yet they are too much mixed to be
marketable. Mr.. Burgoyne, of Mont
peiler, refused an eastern order for
fifteen car loads for the above reasons.
Bear Lake grangers will learn as Utah
people have, that they must be more
particular TO retain their trade.
Farmers often use a suicidal policy IN
these matters.
a SERIOUS difficulty has arisen be
tween Booth and Crawford over ditch |
conveying water To the ranches, which |
has gone into the courts and which bids |
fair to be long and expensive law suit !
to both. The men are wealthy ranch |
ers on Bear RIVER, and were formerly |
partners in business. Respectfully,
ITINERAET.
